Quantifying the Effects of Contact Tracing, Testing, and Containment Measures in the Presence of Infection Hotspots

Multiple lines of evidence at the individual and population level strongly suggest that infection hotspots, or superspreading events, where a single individual infects many others, play a key role in the transmission dynamics of COVID-19. However, most of ...

Inhibition of influenza virus activity by the bovine seminal plasma protein PDC-109

Christian Sieben

A number of viruses causing sexually transmissible diseases are transmitted via mammalian seminal plasma. Several components of seminal plasma have been shown to influence those viruses and their physiological impact. To unravel whether components of semin ...

Conditions for transient epidemics of waterborne disease in spatially explicit systems

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Mari, Marino Gatto

Waterborne diseases are a diverse family of infections transmitted through ingestion of-or contact with-water infested with pathogens. Outbreaks of waterborne infections often show well-defined spatial signatures that are typically linked to local eco-epid ...

British Red Squirrels Remain the Only Known Wild Rodent Host for Leprosy Bacilli

Stewart Cole, Charlotte Avanzi, Philippe Busso

Eurasian red squirrels (Sciurus vulgaris) in the British Isles are the most recently discovered animal reservoir for the leprosy bacteria Mycobacterium leprae and Mycobacterium lepromatosis. Initial data suggest that prevalence of leprosy infection is vari ...

A field-based modelling framework of the ecohydrology of schistosomiasis

Francisco Javier Perez Saez

Successful control of schistosomiasis, a water-borne parasitic disease, is challenged by the intricacy of the wormâs lifecycle, which depends on aquatic snail intermediate hosts, and involves environmental, ecologic, and socio-economic factors. Current s ...

Eco-Evolutionary Dynamics Linked to Horizontal Gene Transfer in Vibrios

Melanie Blokesch, Frédérique Marie Jeanne Le Roux

Vibrio is a genus of ubiquitous heterotrophic bacteria found in aquatic environments. Although they are a small percentage of the bacteria in these environments, vibrios can predominate during blooms. Vibrios also play important roles in the degradation of ...

The potential impact of case-area targeted interventions in response to cholera outbreaks: A modeling study

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Flavio Finger

Background Cholera prevention and control interventions targeted to neighbors of cholera cases (case-area targeted interventions [CATIs]), including improved water, sanitation, and hygiene, oral cholera vaccine (OCV), and prophylactic antibiotics, may be a ...

Evaluation of oxidation-sensitive polymersomes as vaccine nanocarriers to enhance humoral responses against arenavirus envelope glycoproteins

Clara Galan Navarro

Vaccines currently represent one of the most effective means to control and prevent infectious diseases affecting humans and animals and have dramatically improved public health, quality of life, and life expectancy. Over the last years several conceptual ...

Identification of the inactivating factors and mechanisms exerted on MS2 coliphage in concentrated synthetic urine

Tamar Kohn, Loïc Decrey

Volume reduction (condensation) is a key for the practical usage of human urine as a fertilizer because it enables the saving of storage space and the reduction of transportation cost. However, concentrated urine may carry infectious disease risks resultin ...

Red squirrels in the British Isles are infected with leprosy bacilli

Stewart Cole, Andrej Benjak, Charlotte Avanzi, Philippe Busso, Jérémie Piton, Chloé Marie Loiseau

Leprosy, caused by infection with Mycobacterium leprae or the recently discovered Mycobacterium lepromatosis, was once endemic in humans in the British Isles. Red squirrels in Great Britain (Sciurus vulgaris) have increasingly been observed with leprosy-li ...
